Horrific Visions Revisited continues in Patch 11.1.7, and now you can fully upgrade your Hourglass of Horrific Visions. That means there’s no better time to farm Displaced Corrupted Mementos, and in this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to do it.
We’ll start by explaining what Displaced Corrupted Mementos are, where you can get them, and how to spend them. Then, we’ll cover the best farming routes, the ideal number of masks to use, and other key tips to optimize your run and make the process as smooth as possible.
What are Corrupted Mementos
Displaced Corrupted Mementos are a new currency introduced in The War Within as part of the return of Horrific Visions. Originally known simply as Corrupted Mementos in Battle for Azeroth, the currency has been reintroduced under a new name but serves the same purpose. For simplicity, we will refer to them as Corrupted Mementos, though we are specifically talking about the The War Within version throughout this guide.
All Corrupted Mementos sources
There are several ways to earn Corrupted Mementos in Horrific Visions. Here are all the sources:
- Complete Horrific Vision runs and optional objectives.
- The more side objectives you complete during a run, the more Corrupted Mementos you will receive.
- The more Faceless Masks you activate, the higher the difficulty, and the better the Corrupted Mementos rewards.
- If you don’t finish the entire run, you will still earn a portion of Corrupted Mementos based on your progress.
- Odd Crystals.
- You can trade Odd Crystals inside the vision for Corrupted Mementos. We’ll cover this method in more detail later.
- Loot from enemies and containers inside Visions.
- While not a large source, Corrupted Mementos can also drop from mobs, elites, treasure chests, and spawned enemies inside the Visions.

Corrupted Mementos farm preparations
Before you begin, make sure to follow these 4 steps to optimize your Corrupted Mementos farm runs.
Step 1: Upgrade the Hourglass of Horrific Vision to its maximum level.
Yes, this requires spending Corrupted Mementos, but the investment is absolutely worth it. A fully upgraded Hourglass offers crucial benefits during your runs. Check out our Hourglass of Horrific Vision guide to find the best talents suited for your playstyle.
Step 2: Unlock Faceless Masks.
These masks increase the difficulty of your Horrific Vision runs, but they also significantly boost the amount of Corrupted Mementos you earn. Refer to our Horrific Visions Faceless Masks guide to learn how to unlock all of them. We’ll cover the most efficient mask combinations later.
Step 3: Unlock Horrific Vision tributes.
These are straightforward buffs that assist you during your runs, so there is no reason to skip them. Your first priority should be to fully upgrade Clear Sight and Elite Extermination. Learn more about how these tributes work in our detailed Horrific Visions guide.
Step 4: Skip Construct of Soridomi.
The Construct of Soridomi makes your runs harder regardless of the role you choose. There is no need to summon it.
Optimal setup for Corrupted Mementos farm
The most efficient way to farm Corrupted Mementos is by completing full Horrific Vision runs. Focus on finishing all side objectives, defeating the final boss, and then exiting to repeat the process. Avoid wasting time on mailboxes, unnecessary trash mobs, or elites that aren’t tied to objectives, they offer little value compared to a full clear.
The key question is how many Faceless Masks you should use for optimal speed to reward ratio. Let’s break that down next.
How many Masks needed for Corrupted Mementos farm
For an optimal Corrupted Mementos farm, you need from 2 to 4 Masks active, depending on your gear and skill. While it’s possible to run with 5+ Masks, we don’t recommend it for farming purposes. 5+ mask runs are time-consuming, more punishing, and carry a higher risk of failure. The goal is to have quick, smooth, and stress-free runs, and that sweet spot is usually found with 2 to 4 Masks active.
- Start by activating 2 Masks and test how the run feels. It should be fast and consistent. If it meets those conditions, feel free to stay at this level and farm Corrupted Mementos here.
- If you’re confident, try a 3 Mask run. Again, evaluate whether the run remains fast and low-stress. If it becomes too intense or slows you down, drop back to 2 Masks.
- If 3 Mask runs feel easy, you can test 4 Masks. Make sure the run still feels stress-free. Even if you’re capable of handling more Masks, increasing the difficulty beyond this point often leads to longer runs, which lowers your overall farming speed.
Best Masks for Corrupted Mementos farm
Choosing the right Masks is also very important, as each one offers a different level of difficulty. For speed and efficiency when farming Corrupted Mementos, you should first activate the easiest Masks available.
Here are the easiest Masks to use for Corrupted Mementos farming:
| Mask № | Mask | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Faceless Mask of the Nemesis | Spawns elite enemies that ambush you during the run. |
| 2 | Faceless Mask of the Burned Bridge | Moving causes void zones to spawn in your path for approximately 10 seconds. Standing in a void zone drains 30 Sanity per second. |
| 3 | Faceless Mask of Dark Imagination | Moving causes void zones to spawn in your path for approximately 10 seconds. Standing in a void zone drains 30 Sanity per second. |
| 4 | Faceless Mask of the Pained | Moving causes void zones to spawn in your path for approximately 10 seconds. Standing in a void zone drains 30 Sanity per second. |
| 5 | Faceless Mask of Vengeance | Bosses deal significantly more damage. |
Start with Masks 1 and 2, as they are the easiest to handle. If your runs feel smooth, you can later add Masks 3 and 4. We do not recommend using the 5th Mask unless you’re in full BiS gear and can clear 4-Mask runs effortlessly.
Corrupted Mementos farm routes
These are the optimal routes for farming Corrupted Mementos in both cities. They’re designed to let you clear all side zones and reach the final boss as quickly as possible, without wasting any extra time.
Should you farm Odd Crystals
This is probably the hardest question to answer, as there’s no clear-cut solution.
First, let’s break down how Odd Crystals work:
- Each zone contains 3 to 4 possible spawn locations for Odd Crystals, but only 2 of them will be active per zone in any given run. So there’s a degree of randomness involved.
- The Odd Crystals are not easy to find on your own, so we recommend using the maps provided above to help locate them.
- The more Odd Crystals you collect during a run, the more Corrupted Mementos you’ll earn. The reward scales exponentially, meaning collecting just 2 or 3 isn’t very effective. You’ll need around 7 to 10 Odd Crystals in a run to get the full benefit.
- After collecting Odd Crystals, you must turn them in to Zarhaal, who is located in the main area of the city. This interaction also takes a bit of time.
So, our answer to whether you should collect Odd Crystals while farming Corrupted Mementos is: generally, NO.
You can skip them entirely and still earn a large number of Corrupted Mementos quickly.
However, if you know all the spawn locations and enjoy gathering, collecting them is still a valid option. You’ll spend slightly more time per run, but you’ll also earn a bit more Corrupted Mementos. Both methods—collecting or skipping Odd Crystals—can be effective, depending on your preference.
Corrupted Mementos farm tips and tricks
Here are some tips and tricks to efficiently farm Corrupted Mementos in Horrific Visions.
- Prioritize completing objectives, not killing mobs or looting. The faster you finish objectives, the better your overall efficiency.
- Only interrupt your main path to loot hidden treasure chests unlocked by the Clear Sight tribute. Even then, try not to stray too far from your route.
- Always check for the bad potion at the start of each run and use the potion mechanic to your advantage. You can learn more about this in our Orgrimmar HV guide and Stormwind HV guide.
- Make sure your runs are easy and don’t require full concentration. Aim for a difficulty level that lets you farm while comfortably watching YouTube or doing something else on a second screen.
- Pick up or ignore Odd Crystals based on your preference. Just commit to one approach, don’t go halfway.
